چکیده
We construct supergravity duals of D6-branes wrapping Kähler four-cycles inside a Calabi-Yau threefold, CY3. We obtain the purely gravitational M-theory description, which turns out to be a Calabi-Yau fourfold, CY4. We also analyze the dynamics of a probe D6 in this background. 1 E-mail: [email protected] 2 E-mail: [email protected]

Branes with fluxes wrapped on spheres
Following an eight-dimensional gauged supergravity approach we construct the most general solution describing D6-branes wrapped on a Kähler four-cycle taken to be the product of two spheres of different radii. Our solution interpolates between a Calabi–Yau four-fold and the spaces S × S × S × IR or S × S × IR, depending on generic choices for the parameters. Then we turn on a background four-fo...
متن کاملCan D-branes Wrap Nonrepresentable Cycles?
Sometimes a homology cycle of a nonsingular compactification manifold cannot be represented by a nonsingular submanifold. We want to know whether such nonrepresentable cycles can be wrapped by D-branes. A brane wrapping a representable cycle carries a K-theory charge if and only if its Freed-Witten anomaly vanishes. However some K-theory charges are only carried by branes that wrap nonrepresent...
متن کاملBranes Wrapped on Coassociative Cycles
We obtain a supergravity solution arising when D6-branes are wrapped on coassociative four-cycles of constant curvature in seven manifolds of G2 holonomy. The solutions preserve two supercharges and thus represent supergravity duals of three dimensional Yang-Mills with N = 1 supersymmetry. When uplifted to eleven dimensions our solution describes M-theory on the background of an eight manifold ...
متن کاملD6 branes and M–theory geometrical transitions from gauged supergravity
We study the supergravity duals of supersymmetric theories arising in the world–volume of D6 branes wrapping holomorphic two–cycles and special Lagrangian three–cycles within the framework of eight dimensional gauged supergravity. When uplifted to 11d, our solutions represent M–theory on the background of, respectively, the small resolution of the conifold and a manifold with G2 holonomy. We fu...
متن کاملHolonomy from wrapped branes
Compactifications of M-theory on manifolds with reduced holonomy arise as the local eleven-dimensional description of D6-branes wrapped on supersymmetric cycles in manifolds of lower dimension with a different holonomy group. Whenever the isometry group SU(2) is present, eight-dimensional gauged supergravity is a natural arena for such investigations. In this paper we use this approach and revi...
